THE EXORCIST: One Night Only screening feedback from fans .

I have been a long time fan of The Exorcist since I was absolutely terrified by it as a youngster.I`ve seen the movie dozens of times after I was capable to suppress my reverence of it and it certainly hasn`t lost it`s force over audiences, even in an age where knife wielding maniacs, and rip and bloodshed are commonplace in the horror/thriller/suspense genre.

I went with a little grouping of friends;

some of which haven`t seen it in many days and one whose never watched it.It was a totally memorable experience!The audience wasn`t particularly large but for the about part it was respectful.The gang consisted almost all of twenty somethings which came as a surprise because I was certain some older folks would`ve taken the oppurtunity to see it once again on the big screen.

As someone stated above, the one division that made many jump, including myself, was the setting where the telephone rings while Father Karras is analyzing the transcription of Regan`s demonic voice.The scene that stands out nearly in my head however,is the crucifix masturbation scene.The stress in the house right before Chris MacNeil hears screams and loud thrashes coming from upstairs was magnificent.It`s as if people were anticipating something big and rather of laugh it off like so many immature/rude theatre goers tend to do, they were obviously shocked and alarmed.

Even though I see how disturbing this peculiar view is, there actually is so much loss on in it and I suppose there were rather a few people who haven`t seen the film previously because as soon as her head does the fourth or half turn, people either gasped, closed their eyes or put their manpower over their mouth which in an odd way, was a sweet thing to see.

The soundtrack was astonishing and everything from the sounds in the dome to the whispering of the leaves outside were place on.The silent scenes were never so calm and the loud segments left my ears ringing.The image quality was phenomenal, I didn`t see that the scenes in Iraq would be so bright because I`m used to seeing it as being a bit more grainy or gritty, the sky in particular looked like the clearest blue sky which was decent to see.

The rear the scenes segments were captivating and it goes to indicate how adding a few more segments to the film could`ve turned it into something entriely different (Regan and Chris sightseeing and drive to make one sequence.The quick clips of the crucifix masturbation were shocking but awesome to see afterward so many days and as about one mentioned, the setting where Chris pulls Regan to the story after her bed is shaking.All of these factors made my movie going experience absolutely Wonderful and I`m so pleased I got to see this classic on the big screen_even to this day, it holds up to any horror film from any era and the only reason why it is considered, THE SCARIEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!
